How is it?
I got one this year and really love it - the drive is quite peppy, range is much better than advertised, and it’s a comfortable car. There are a few minor downsides, such as I’ve encountered a few glitches along the way (occasionally the driver side mirror won’t go back to the normal position automatically after backing up), but these seem to be pretty minimal and are getting fixed with software updates.
I’ll echo the other replies. I’m really enjoying it.
I was going to buy the GT just because it’s dumb but come to find out you miss out on some features of the “lesser” models, as well as losing a decent amount of range. You can’t get power or cooled front seats and its estimated range is down to ~200 miles.
I ended up with the AWD GT-Line which is still pretty quick but has 50+ miles of range over the GT as well as the power/cooled front seats.
Like @geogle said, the climate/radio screen is weird but I got used to it pretty quickly. The one thing that bugs me the most is the skip forward/backwards buttons for music or podcasts are (what I think) backwards. They are up/down arrows and the down arrow skips forward and the up arrow skips backwards.
The only other thing I’m somewhat annoyed by is the lack of wireless car play/android auto. You can buy an adapter but it feels silly they wouldn’t have included it on a 2023 $60k vehicle
